Looks like Bollig's in, Stalberg's out for Game 1

Quenneville shuffles every line in practice Tuesday; splitting Toews, Kane could help offset Chara

Brandon Bollig walked into the dressing room Tuesday and saw a black sweater hanging from a hook. Viktor Stalberg saw, more ominously, a white jersey in his stall.

And with that, plus a few line reconfigurations at practice, the Blackhawks will not start the Stanley Cup Final with precisely who brought them there. Bollig and his physical play appear to be in for Game 1 against the Bruins, while Stalberg's in-and-out postseason hits another pothole.

"It's frustrating from a personal standpoint," said Stalberg, who has three points in 15 playoff games. "That's how it is sometimes. You're going to go through struggles, but at the same time, it's tough, too, when you're playing eight minutes a night to do something.

"Being a productive player during the regular season for the most part, it's tough sometimes when you don't get the ice time you're used to and you have to change your game up a bit and something doesn't work the way you want it to. I've been doing what I've been asked. If they want some more toughness in this first game here, so be it. I can't affect that at this point."

Bollig skated on the fourth line with Marcus Kruger and Michael Frolik during practice Tuesday, a combination coach Joel Quenneville said had "a likelihood or probability it could happen."

Inserting the 223-pound Bollig would be taking at least a small measure to match the Bruins' black-and-blue approach.

"That's definitely what it is if I do go in because that's what I provide," said Bollig, who hasn't played since Game 3 of the first round. "I provide physicality. I'm just looking to play my game and provide that presence."

Line changes: While nothing is certain until puck drop, every Hawks line had a different look Tuesday. Jonathan Toews skated with Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa, while Michal Handzus was flanked by Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell. Quenneville said splitting Toews and Kane "could be" a way to avoid Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara matching up with both.

"It's a roller coaster, but that's hockey," said Bolland, who has played on three lines this postseason. "Whatever's thrown at me, whatever the coaches want to be done, I'm just going to do."

Idol chatter: Growing up in Kladno, Czech Republic, Frolik was like every other hockey fan who revered hometown hero Jaromir Jagr. They will be opponents come Game 1, but Frolik is thrilled for a rare up-close encounter with his boyhood hero, still playing at 41.

"It's a huge thing," said Frolik, 25, who was drafted in 2006. "He was always my idol. When I was young, I always looked up to him. It's unbelievable he's still playing at this level. I'm excited to play against him."
